Importing documents from ipad using icloud

I am trying to find out how to import Pages documents I have created on my ipad into Pages on my desktop imac.  Both the ipad and imac are signed into the same icloud account and have documents and data checked in the settings.  I currently have about 9 Pages documents stored on the ipad, but I can't get them to open or import them into Pages on the imac.  What do I need to do?  When I go into Pages on the imac and choose open, it doesn't give me an option to open things in icloud;  I thought it should.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks and God bless,
Mark

As Tom said, you need Mountain Lion, 10.8, but you also need Pages 4.2. In the meantime, you can upload & download iWork & other documents using the iWork section of iCloud.com in a web browser. This method also works in Snow Leopard or on a PC.

  • Cannot open, share or download Pages document from iPad or iCloud

    Hi,
    My girlfriend's sister is having some trouble where one specific pages document will not open and we cannot do anything with it (i.e. open, save as PDF, email as word file etc).
    In iCloud you get the error "You need a newer version of pages to open this document".
    On the iPad, error is "Document can't be opened".
    She has pages version 1.7.2 on the iPad which is the latest version in the Apple Store.
    I managed to get a pages file (or package) onto my PC to have a look at it and it is in the form of a folder called "name.pages-tef" and inside are the following:
    If I open Index.db with notepad I can see her notes but they're surrounded by copious amounts of nonsensical code. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    The following link gets into the real details of the different file formats for Pages documents (there are three versions).  The "-tef" file format is specifically for iOS and is translated to a mac format when using the file on a mac.  One question is how was the file created?  On a mac or on the ipad?
    At any rate, around half way through the article is the beginning discussion of the -tef format.  This may explain some of your issues.

  • I activated my ipad, used iCloud & Find my iphone with Apple ID named: A@.... But now I've changed address of Apple ID from A@... to the new one: B@... Which Apple ID will be asked to re-activate 7.0.4 ipad - A or B?

    Hello everybody!
    I'm using ipad mini and the iOS is 7.0.4. I used an Apple ID (called: A), and I activated my ipad, used iCloud & Find my iphone with this A account. But now I've changed address of Apple ID from A@.... to the new one: B@.... (just changed email address of Apple ID, not create a new ID), and then I signed out iCloud, old Apple ID, etc... on my ipad and signed in with new id B@.... Everythings seem OK, I can sign in/out iCould, turn on/turn off Find my iphone as well with the new one (B@...)
    But I still have a question (and still confusing with it): What will happend when I restored my ipad? I mean my iOS is 7, so which Apple ID will be asked to re-activate my ipad after I restore it, old id A@.... (this one cannot be used now) or the new one B@...., please?
    Thank you very much for your helpful informations!

    If you've succesfully changed the ID for iCloud and Find my phone, it will be your new ID you use if you need to restore it.

  • How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
    If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

  • How can I sync app data (e.g. game status) from iphone to iPad using iCloud?

    I just got the new iPad, and would like to continue some of the games from my iphone. I have downloaded these previously purchased apps from the app store, but is there anyway I could sync the game data from my iphone to m ipad using icloud? It only works for some games where I could sync games status with icloud (which means i can play on whichever device and progress is saved in icloud), is there a way for all apps to haave this? I dont want to restore my ipad as my iphone.

    I have just started using game center on my iPad 2. I had previously been playing Temple Run on my iPhone, once I had logged in on both devices my achievements from my phone transferred to my iPad but not the points I had accumulated for power ups etc in the store.
    If the only way to transfer game progress is to restore from a back up how come my achievements have synced across? Isn't there a way to sync store points across as well?
    There seems to be a lot of people on this forum asking the same question so I hope someone out there can help!

  • Can i import photos from ipad to windows based computer.

    my ipad is losing charge very quickly and I have been told by apple genius bar support that the battery is working fine. They say I need to back up the ipad and then reload from scratch. But they say that if I simply use the back up I am likely to have the same problem, so what I really need to do is make sure that my photos are safe and then can choose what to reload. But I have a windows pc not a mac and I cant see how to transfer the photos on the ipad to the computer. Apple say they know nothing about windows computers. Any easy, non technical ideas please?

    First of all, you can use iTunes or iCloud to backup your data on iPad. If you have no idea on how to make a backup, you can go to :http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977
    Then, to import photos from iPad to computer,  there are two ways:
    Way 1: If you have enable iCloud, you can see and copy the photos you took in the last 30 days on Windows iCloud panel which you have installed on your computer. However, there is an advantage that you can not import all photos.
    Way 2: You can use iTunes to copy the photos on iPad to your computer. Install the latest iTunes and connect iPad to the computer. Then, you'll see your device on the "Computer (disk)" list , click it, you can see all your pictures on the iPad and import or copy it to the computer.

  • Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad

    Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad 2. Document succesfully transferred as Pages document to computer, but Pages 2.0,2 wouldn;t open it. Version too old?

    Pages 2 is iWork '06, two versions behind what the iOS Pages creates. You need to use Pages '09 which you can purchase from the Mac App Store as a stand-alone application or a retail box of the iWork '09 suite.

  • Sync iPad using iCloud

    I've sync my iPad using iCloud and it seems that my contacts hasn't transferred from my iPhone to ipad. Help please

    Unless your contacts are stored in an iCloud account, you should not expect them to transfer simply because you say you "synced using iCloud."
    iCloud (or iTunes) backups of iOS devices do not store contacts.

  • Problem printing scanned PDF document from iPad to HP Photosmart Plus B209a

    Hi,
    I'd like to report a problem printing a scanned PDF document from iPad via HP ePrint application to my HP Photosmart Plus B209a printer. The document was sent to the printer without any issue. However, the printer only prints out the
     screenshot image in the center of the PDF page, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit in an A4 paper. The rest of the document is simply ignored by the printer. The document with the problem can be downloaded in the link below:
    Download PDF document with the problem
    What could be wrong? Thank you in advance!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I received the document from my teacher, so I don't know what program she used to scan it.
    I tried to print the document directly from my PC which works fine though, so I guess the document is OK.
    My HP printer is an old model which doesn't support eprint or air print, so I used the eprint application on iOS to print the document. I tried both color and black/white which gave me the same result: only the center screenshot image is printed out, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit an A4 paper, the rest of the document is just ignored.
    What do you mean by saving it as a document?

  • Importing contacts from aol into iCloud

    I have imported contacts from AOL into iCloud.  The nature of AOL's contacts results in many email addresses listed as "undefined."  I culled through the undefineds either deleted the entry or added it to an existing entry.  BUT NOW the "undefineds" are back!  Am I missing a setting or is there a way to make sure the "undefineds" do not keep popping up?
    Thanks

    I think the point of backups is to have your data available should you need it in a device crash, etc.
    You can backup using your DM and then move the *.ipd file to your Media Card. Should you be travelling, and have a crisis, you can move that IPD file to any computer or laptop and do a restore.
    I am not aware of a way to import your contacts from the Media Card, however.
